I have Catalina, so I have Music rather than iTunes. I subscribed to Match. It spent hours and hours combing through my music. It seems to be done, yet when I look at the information on the song they are all still 128kps.
Isn't Match supposed to upgrade music files to higher quality?
It doesn't happen automatically. For tracks that have been successfully matched, right-click, remove download, then right-click and download. You should end up with a 256K AAC version of the original track. Before you do this make sure that you have a secure backup of your media in case of any mismatched versions, e.g. clean vs. explicit, etc.

See About iTunes Plus - Apple Support, though I not convinced they haven't got step 5 wrong because that is where I would suggest using remove download.
All my tracks would have had the correct metadata before and after upgrading like this, so I'm not sure where things might have gone wrong for you..

Amazing -- besides asking on a forum, how are we supposed to figure that out?
Your suggestion worked perfectly -- although requires more manual effort than it should. It also doesn't correct any meta data -- for many song files without meta data I had to play and use Shazam -- seems like something this service could automate.
Match is not upgrading my songs to higher quality, why?
